Road Trip

In June I got to take a little road trip down to salt lake with Heather, Lily, and Karalee. We had such a good time. Lily was such a good baby and Heather is an amazing mother. I love being a grandma and getting to spend time with my grandaughter.

We are off to salt lake! Lily did great in the car, Heather just had to feed her a couple times and we made it in good time.

We were all in one hotel room, so Karalee and I loved to get up early when we heard Lily to cuddle and snuggle her, giving heather an extra few minutes of sleep!

Lily got to meet my mother for the first time! This is great grandbaby number 29!! It was so sweet!

My sweet mother.

We love Lily and love being new grandparents!

Lily at Home

I love spending time over at Heathers house with Lily and Heather. As Wade calls it I am "Lily Looking". I love to cuddle her, hear her sweet baby noises, change her diaper, put on new baby clothes, look into her eyes and just snuggle her and tell her I love her. I tell her how lucky she is to have her Mommy take such loving, patient care of her. She has so many people that love her. She is truly a "little pink bundle of joy".

She loves to stretch and stretch......

Just starting the many years of cute cute hair-dos.....

Washing her long blonde locks ......
I love my little Lily!

Lily Jane Davis

On May 10 our first grand baby was born. Lily Jane Davis. She was born 6 lbs. 10 oz. 19.5 in long. She is the sweetest little girl. Heather is doing an amazing job. We are so proud of heather and josh and so excited to watch them learn and grow as parents with this sweet new little baby. I LOVE spending time with her, helping heather out, and giving my little granddaughter kisses and hugs. I couldn't be happier and so excited that they are in boise so close. Wade and I both love this little girl and cant wait to watch her grow each day. Congratulations Heather and Josh!

Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!!!

SEATTLE June 2009.

The last weekend in June our family headed up to Seattle for the Seattle Rock n Roll Marathon...yes some were indeed the runners! While the rest of us were their true supporters :) We missed Heather and Josh but really had a good time. Allyson did an AMAZING job running her first marathon and Krystin did an awesome job running her first half. They had put

such dedication and energy into preparing and it really paid off.

Before the race... They were very excited and ready to run :)

Dad was very good at doing the math to figure out what time the girls would be at what mile, so we could run around seattle to cheer them on along the way!

The day was absolutley BEAUTIFUL. Perfect temperature and a CLEAR BLUE sky in Seattle.

Good job krssy we ar SO proud of you!! you really rocked it :)

mom was their in her tye dye shirt so the girls could spot us along the side of the trail as we watched for them amongst the 25,000 runners!!

kay and Kar jumped in and ran the last few miles with Ally. She was so strong and it was SO much fun to push her through those last gruling miles, I am still so Amazed with how well she ran it!

Good job Ally we are SO impressed and proud of you :)

Where will the next Marathon be???????????

*TYE DYE*

For girls camp this year we decided to Tye Dye T-shirts. We had a fun busy Wednesday night activity and the girls each got to color thier own shirt. I think they all turned out so cute!
We managed to get by almost stain free....Michaela was our worst victim with one solid pink hand and one solid orange hand. Many Many washes later she has restored her little hands to their origianl color!

peace.

Thanks everyone who helped out!

SUNVALLEY

I got to go up to Sun Valley to visit Allyson for the weekend! She has been living in Hailey since January and I decided it was long past due for a visit. It was so gorgeous... rainy, but we still managed to have an awesome time :)
We walked around some shops and had an AMAZING breakfast!

and SUPRISE! Krystin and Sarie drove up from rexburg to meet us! It was really good to see them.

It made me want to ski SO bad. The mountain looks funny without snow, but our hike was so pretty, sadly it was cut a little bit short due to lightning, but we still had a few minutes to get some quick pictures!

So ally is and Krystin are training to run in the Seattle Half and Full Marathon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so amazed at how determined and how hard they are working. With this new hobby, the Bateman family has invested in some asics. It was funny to see such a large pile of shoes, all the same kind. While we were there ally had her TWENTY MILER. wow. and she ROCKED it. Krystin put in her fare share of miles as well. The path she gets to run while she lives up there is incredible! Its awesome because its so distracting while you run, to look around at the amazing views.

Karalee Bateman Krystin Bateman. What a good place.

thanks ally for the fun weekend! we miss you :)

Iron Man 70.3

Last Saturday we had the chance to go downtown and watch the Iron man 70.3. It was a lot of fun. The weather was not anywhere near what people hoped, nonstop rain! It poured all morning. Still the streets of BODO were lined with friends, family and people of Boise to cheer on these incredible athletes. We were able to watch them transition from biking to running and then move down the street to watch the finish.


These first two men sprinted past the finish line. Their time was amazing, ending with 5 minute miles!

We all tried to stay under the umbrellas... but some how when we left we wereall still soaking wet!

The athletes would come rushing in on their bikes, find their number and park them. They would grab their bag and switch into their running shoes, in soaking wet soaks! It was amazing to watch.
